Ravens/Steelers now moved back yet another day to Wednesday. Not sure yet how that will effect the Cowboys game that has already been moved to Monday.
 
So I haven't kept up with it that much, but why don't the Ravens have to just play with backups? Is the league claiming they wouldn't have enough people to field a team? Or is it actually because Jackson is a league darling?

I mean, the league has to know they can't just keep moving these things back forever. What if the Cowboys now had some cases before Monday, what would they do?

I just wonder why they don't have to play with what they have. Is team strength and status a factor? IOW, if the Ravens and Broncos last week had been reversed, would the league have handled it the same way? I doubt it.

A lot of people seem to be wondering the same thing. It's one thing to move it from a short week to Sunday, but to move it two additional times to a Wednesday?

Kind of fishy when they on the other hand make Denver play without a QB.

Right, so they wouldn't push it back for Denver...whose QBs were caught not wearing masks, possibly risking exposure.

But they will push it back for Baltimore, whose team now has 18+ who WERE exposed and DO have the virus.

At some point someone on the Ravens broke protocol, so the league should give them the same damn mandate. Find a way to play.

The Broncos should be livid.

The Broncos had to play with a PS receiver at QB. You can't get much more bare than that.
 
why did they move Skins-Steelers to Monday? neither team is fighting Covid right now.

Because the Steelers would otherwise have like 3 days to prepare for that game since they thought it was a good idea to move Ravens-Steelers to Wednesday.
